State Spokesperson Naveen Thakur said, ongoing efforts regarding strong land law along with many schemes like Kisan Samman Nidhi, interest-free loan and Anna Yojana promoting hill grains, taps in 7 lakh houses for the farmers of the state enough to show our commitment.
Issuing a statement, State Spokesperson Naveen Thakur has completely rejected the allegations leveled in the media by former CM Harish Rawat and Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya. Targeting, he said, those who did not take care of the farmers when they were in power, never made any scheme to promote the state’s agriculture, nor did they ever worry about water reaching the homes of the poor through taps, today only and only In order to keep the discussion going, rote allegations are being made like catchphrases. Whose anti-state-building face was seen by everyone, who always used to make gold out of clay for themselves with the help of buffoons whenever they were in power, today they are pretending to be worried about the land law being brought by the Dhami government.
Thakur said, we are getting our answer from the works of our government, whether it is the transfer of ₹ 1767 crore to the accounts of 9 lakh farmers of the state under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, whether up to 23 lakh is being made available to the farmers. Interest-free loans, up to 80 percent subsidy being given on the purchase of agricultural equipment under the Farm Machinery Bank Scheme, ₹ 20 per quintal bonus being given to farmers on wheat purchase, whether operated to promote organic agriculture in the state 4485 cluster, whether to develop aroma valleys for special aromatic crops. Now on the lines of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, CM Kisan Protsahan Nidhi will also be started soon. “One district-two product scheme” is applicable for Vocal for Local, whereas with the inspiration of the Center, the food scheme has brought a golden opportunity for our grains.
To promote coarse grains, we are ensuring provision of Jhangora and Mandua to Antyodaya families in Mandua and Midday Meal Scheme through the public distribution system. Today, drinking water connections have been provided to more than 7 lakh families in rural areas under Jal Jeevan Mission in the state. Taking a jibe, he said, the Congress will continue to level allegations and soon water will also reach all the houses in the state through these taps.
